 dez22 The Macau government has announced its allocation of tables and slot machines under the new concession period to commence from 1 January 2023. The government  had previously announced  the number of tables and slots in Macau under the new concessions would be reduced to 6,000 and 12,000 respectively. This represents a 13% reduction in tables from the former 6,925 under the table cap which applied to the previous concession period set to end on 31 December 2022, and a 3% reduction in slot machines from the DICJ’s last official count of 12,387 machines as at the end of September.
